I have had an ebay store on ebay.ca for about a year. Sales have been slow to say the least, but enough to keep it open. Should I close the store on .ca and reopen on .com. Thanks in advance for any help. Kevin-KWC SPORTS

I say close the store and just auction. With the new fee increases you will pay more for your store and the rest of the incidentals. I closed mine yesterday. It's not worth it anymore.

An Ebay.com store is better
Funds are always in American Funds , this seems to be less confusing to the American Customer
I switched from Ebay.ca to Ebay.com

Kevin, If most of your sales are in the USA then open your store on the .com side. .ca stores are a waste of time if you mostly sell to the US.

What are your thoughts on having stores on both .ca and .com?
My sales always averaged 90% US but the last 2 months it reversed and I am now doing 90% Canadian, can't think of why this happened so was considering doing both....
I figure if I dont auction on one of the accounts I rank #1 in search by category for sleeping bags so I will still get the extra sales from people that search by category on eBay.com

In order to have a .com store and a .ca store you would have to have two different eBay IDS. In my opinion your .com store should serve the Canadian buyer just as well as a .ca store.
